Recent ad hoc crowd sourcing projects such as #Blimage have shown that people can learn from each other in a distributed manner, through simple ideas such as sharing images and blogging about them. A large proportion of younger learners are perpetually online, constantly using their smartphones as gateways into this world. Tapscott, D.

One of the principles of pedagogy I learnt very early on in my career was not to privilege teaching above learning. I doubt if anyone will post any relevant comments on this post (blogging seems to be a dying art for most teachers these days) but if you choose to do so, I will respond. How are you engaging your learners?
